Sandcastle’s 25th Anniversary Season Is Here!

Pittsburgh, PA (May 2014) – Sandcastle Waterpark opened Memorial Day weekend. This season marks the park’s 25th year of summer fun for its guests!

In 1989, Sandcastle transformed an old railroad yard that serviced the US Steel Homestead Works mill into a waterpark. Since then, the fifteen famous waterslides, the wild Mon-Tsunami Wave Pool, the scenic Mushroom Pool, the relaxing Lazy River, the pint-sized Tad Pool, and Wet Willie’s Waterworks have continued to provide fun and memories to guests of all ages.

In honor of Sandcastle’s big 25th Anniversary season, the park will be celebrating with a 25 day long celebration including in park specials, contests, and special events like Fun Family Fridays hosted by Radio Disney and our 4th of July Celebration. The celebration kicks off July 1st with something fun and new every day until July 25! A list of activities, offers, and events will be listed on the park events page at sandcastlewaterpark.com.
